Bitwise NOT

[Aamir Mahmood]

hi
how can i perform a bitwise NOT on a int or long or uint type variable?
so that the bits should be inverted in the result.

Try this:

int val = 15;
val = ~val;

See the documentation on the ~ operator:

~ is the bitwise not operator. For instance:

uint x = 0x1234;
uint y = ~x;

y is now 0xffffedcb
